What Is OKX DEX?

OKX Web3 Wallet's Market is an all-in-one platform for discovering popular tokens, analyzing data, and trading. It includes convenient features such as MemePump; Signal and Trending tokens, helping users discover onchain opportunities easily and quickly.

OKX Web3 Wallet's Trade is Web3's most comprehensive multichain and cross-chain trading aggregator. It aggregates liquidity from 30+ public blockchains, 25+ cross-chain bridges, and 400+ decentralized exchanges, covering over 300,000 crypto assets. Powered by OKX’s self-developed X Routing smart routing technology, a single trade can be intelligently split and executed across multiple DEXs at the same time to achieve the best available price with minimal slippage. The DEX module supports both same-chain and cross-chain swaps. Users can view real-time price comparisons, estimated gas fees, and slippage before confirming a transaction, without manually switching networks or interacting with individual DEX platforms. In addition, Trade provides practical tools such as intent-based trading mode, DEX Markets, limit orders, KYT screening, and MEV protection, offering you a comprehensive and convenient trading experience.

What exchange modes are supported on OKX DEX Web?

Swap mode

Swap mode allows users to perform single-chain swaps. Users can set the slippage tolerance and execute market swaps at the best available price.

Advanced trading mode

Advanced trading mode supports in-depth market data analysis and advanced trading settings, enabling users to perform more complex trading operations.

Bridge mode

Bridge mode allows users to transfer assets across different blockchain networks and supports asset exchanges across multiple public blockchains. Users can select the source network and destination network, and the system will automatically choose the optimal route for the transfer. This mode is suitable for users who need to perform cross-chain transactions.

Limit order mode

Limit order mode allows users to set a specific buy or sell price. The order will only be executed automatically when the market price reaches the specified price.

DCA mode

DCA mode is a strategy that splits a large trade into multiple smaller orders and executes them in batches at fixed time intervals. By buying or selling in batches, smart order splitting can smooth transaction costs and reduce the market impact of a large single order without requiring repeated manual orders.

Copy trading mode

Copy trading mode can automatically copy trades from specified on-chain wallets. Users can customize how buy and sell trades are copied and filter trades using advanced criteria such as market capitalization, liquidity, and token creation time. Take-profit and stop-loss settings are also supported.

Intent swap mode

Intent swap mode lets multiple professional solvers compete to provide quotes, helping users get the best execution price. Its advantage is especially clear for large trades.
